` To all whom itmay concern:

' l Be it known that we, EUGENE D.. C. BAYNE vented certain newanduseful Improvements in Machines for' Windinlg and Placing Under Pressurea. Thread Coated with Non-Fibrous and Adhesive Material, of which wehereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactldescription, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

The objects of the invention are to provide an automaticallyactingdevice by means of which a iabriecomposed of threads coated' of theseveral coatings thereonf This layer' of adhering threadsis thenemployed to' form portions of the various fabricsJ or of fabricsanalogous to those describedinour former applications, Serial Nos.347,840, 847,839, 34s,(l93, and 370,139, in which both tubular and hatfabrics are shown. 1 lt is also ,applicable to a multiple number ofother uses.

The invention comprises a tableor surface upon which the thread isapplied and a..

spring pressed director 'whee ada ted to come into contact with allparts of t 1ev table in such a manner as to apply the coated threaddirectlythereto with pressure.

The inventionis exemplified in the device of a table colnliprisin anendless band of polished metal-to which the tenacious coat-` ing willnot.-,adhere. This table is maintained in constant longitudinal motionby means of rotatable wheels (1r-drums upon which it is' Lextended andsupported upon rotating rollers, and a spring pressed director wheel 1smounted'upo'n a transverselynioving carriage, the movements of which areco erative with those' of /th'e table, so that a t iread is a liedthereto in a continuous spiral until allithe surface thereof is evenlycovered. A

The invention alsofco'mprses thevarious detail forms of construction andcombination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter described, shown inthe accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in' the claims. y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is Ia plan view of the device;Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof; Fig. 3 is anenlarged side elevationofthe director wheel and its traveling carriage; Fi 44is. a plan viewthereof; Fig. 5 is an e arged view of the director wheel andspring'pressed bearinfy In these views, 1 is an endless Vband or belt ofpolished metal mounted upon .the band wheels 2,2 on shafts 4 and 4. IThe band wheelsare preferably coated with a friction surface 3 such asleather, which the metal bel-t engages. These wheels are rotated bymeans of the main shaft 4, and intermediate rollers 5 and 6 u on whichthe belt rests are rotated to assist 1n feeding the belt by means ofbevel gears 7, 7, and 8,8, and 10,' 10 and 11 and `12, so that the beltwill maintain a per- `fectly level surface andwill be assisted in itsmovements thereby.

The coatedgthread X is fed to the director wheel 13 by means of a guidewheel 14 and both guide and director wheels are Amounted in a carriage15 which moves transversely of the table, and is secured upon andis'operated 'by the screw threaded shafts 16 and 17 rotated by means ofa train of gears 18, 19,

2O and 21 and connecting gears G & I.

To feed the movablecarriage 15 the screw threaded shafts 16 and 17 haveright and left hand threads since the driving gears 18 andv acrossthebelt, and'apply the coated thread y `in a close spiral thereon, andthe movementof the carnage is so roportional and correlated to thelongitutinal movement of the hielt that the belt will be closelycovered-With a layer of adhering coated threads at thetime that thecarriage has completely traversed it.

'- The thread is coated with a. compressiblc somewhat gelatinoiis andtenacious material such as unvulcamzed rubber and the dlrectpr wheel 1sadapted to-hly the saine upon the pol ished belt with regular pressureand thus pito come directly in contact with the coated Y of the idlerbandwheel I3 is adjustable relaversirig the direction of rotation of thedriv- 'ng wheel or drum 2.

iss

` carriage and at the other end to the cross bar B upon the screwthreaded portion of the fork. The rollers 6 underneath the ,band 1thread and hence must be formed of polished metal fwhile the rollers 5are preferably coated with a friction surface such as leather to engagethe lower surface of the band 1. lt is obvious that the spring presseddirector Wheell could move longitudinally and transversely of the band 1and the band or other supporting table for the thread could bestationary Without departing from the spirit of the invention.

1t is usually important that the fabrics should be made accurately in apredetermined length and for this reason the shaft 4 tive to thedrawing;r w heel ,2 b y means ol bolts 31`and slots 32. A very fine.adjustment can be made by means of the adjusting screws 33. operatingupon the sliding bearing 34 moving upon the bed late 35.

In order to eep the machine in con tinuous use it is desirable the' ehescrew shafts iti and 17 should be reversed in movement when the.carriage has traversed the moving table from i one side to the other andfeed it back again to form another layer. This reverse movement may beaccom lished in any1 desired A manner and is exempified in Fig. 2 4wherea clutch 40 i's shown operatingto throw the spur gears 18 and 19alternately into engage.- ment With the idler 20 and thus reverse themovements of thef-feed screws without re- Any number of d ireotor andguide wheels may be'rnounted in the carriage 15 that ma be desired.

Having describe the invention, whatI we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: v

1. In a device for the purpose set forth, a lo 'tudinall movable tablecomprising an eriiiass metalband having a polished surface, band wheelsupon which said band is mounted, a transversely movable carriage anddirector and guide Wheels therein, and means for rotating said bandWheels and for feeding said carriage transversely to said endless metalband, substantially as described.
